With Trump’s Tariffs Linked to Inflation, I’m Tracking 11 Key Products for Price Moves

For the past three decades, taxes have been a popular topic, leaving consumers and businesses everywhere worried: Will rates increase and by how much? It’s a problem more important than ever, as President Donald Trump punts another big date down the road&nbsp, and a new Consumer Price Index conclusion showing that inflation was 2.7 % in June, &nbsp, the biggest leap since February.

Amid those concerns, I’ve been tracking costs every day for 11 critical products likely to be hit by tariff-induced rate increases, and the truth I’ve come to so far is this: Not so much, at least not yet. The winding path of price inflation still stretches before us into an uncertain potential, but the risk of rate hikes continues to cloud the sky.

To day, I’ve seen two prominent price rises, one for Xbox Series X and the other for a common budget-friendly 4K Television. Some additional products– including Apple’s common AirPods– have gone on selling for short periods. &nbsp,

Cele 11 produse pe care le urmărim

În principal, ceea ce urmărim în acest articol sunt dispozitive electronice și articole digitale pe care CNET le tratează în detaliu, cum ar fi, iPhone-uriși televizoare 4K accesibile – împreună cu o pungă obișnuită de cafea, un produs mai modest care nu este fabricat în SUA într-o măsură semnificativă.

Produsele prezentate au fost alese din câteva motive: Unele dintre ele sunt reprezentative populare și/sau accesibile pentru categorii importante de tehnologie de larg consum, cum ar fi smartphone-urile, televizoarele și consolele de jocuri. Altele sunt menite să reprezinte lucruri pe care consumatorii le-ar putea cumpăra mai frecvent, cum ar fi cerneala de imprimantă sau boabele de cafea. Unele produse au fost alese în detrimentul altora deoarece sunt probabil mai susceptibile la taxe vamale. Unele dintre aceste produse au fost recenzate de CNET sau au fost incluse în unele dintre cele mai bune liste ale noastre.

Mai jos, vom detalia fiecare produs în parte și vom rămâne până la sfârșit pentru o trecere în revistă a altor produse care merită menționate.

iPhone 16

The iPhone is the most popular smartphone brand in the US, so this was a clear priority for price tracking. The iPhone has also emerged as a major focal point for conversations about tariffs, given its popularity and its susceptibility to import taxes because of its overseas production, largely in China. Trump has reportedly been fixated on the idea that the iPhone can and should be manufactured in the US, an idea that experts have dismissed as a fantasy. Estimates have also suggested that a US-made iPhone would cost as much as$ 3, 500.

Something to note about this graph: The price listed is the one you’ll see if you buy your phone through a major carrier. If you, say, buy direct from Apple or Best Buy without a carrier involved, you’ll be charged an extra$ 30, so in some places, you might see the list price of the standard iPhone 16 listed as$ 830.

Apple a luat câteva măsuri pentru a-și proteja prețurile în fața acestor tarife, trimițând produse în vrac înainte ca acestea să intre în vigoare și planificând să mute producția pentru piața americană. din China până în IndiaA. nou raport Reuters found that a staggering 97 % of iPhones imported from the latter country, March through May, were bound for the US. This latter move drew the anger of Trump again, threatening the company with a 25 % tariff if they didn’t move production to the US, an idea CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly shot down in the past. This came after Trump gave a tariff exemption to electronic devices including smartphones, so the future of that move seems in doubt now.

Baterii Duracell AA

Multe dintre produsele tehnologice din casa ta s-ar putea lăuda cu o sursă de energie reîncărcabilă, dar bateriile individuale sunt încă esențiale în fiecare zi și îți pot spune din experiență că, de îndată ce uiți de ele, va trebui să le reaprovizionezi. Bateriile Duracell AA pe care le urmărim sunt unele dintre... Cele mai bine vândute baterii de pe Amazon.

Televizor Samsung DU7200

Alongside smartphones, televisions are some of the most popular tech products out there, even if they’re an infrequent purchase. This particular product is a popular entry-level 4K TV and was CNET’s pick for best overall budget TV for 2025. Unlike a lot of tech products that have key supply lines in China, Samsung is a South Korean company, so it might have some measure of tariff resistance. &nbsp,

After spending most of 2025 hovering around$ 400, this item has now seen some notable upticks on Amazon, most recently sitting around$ 450. This could potentially be in reaction to Trump’s announcement of 25 % tariffs against South Korea this week.

Xbox Series X

Software-ul și hardware-ul pentru jocuri video reprezintă un segment de piață care se așteaptă să fie puternic afectat de tarifele impuse de Trump. Xbox-ul Microsoft este... prima marcă de console care înregistrează creșteri de prețuri&nbsp,– the company cited “market conditions” along with the rising cost of development. Most notably, this included an increase in the price of the flagship Xbox Series X, up from$ 500 to$ 600. Numerous Xbox accessories also were affected and the company also said that “certain” games will eventually see a price hike from$ 70 to$ 80.

Initially, we were tracking the price of the much more popular Nintendo Switch as a representative of the gaming market. Nintendo has not yet hiked the price of its handheld-console hybrid and stressed that the$ 450 price tag of the upcoming Switch 2 has not yet been inflated because of tariffs. Sony, meanwhile, has so far only increased prices on its PlayStation hardware in markets outside the US.

AirPods Pro 2

Spre marea dezamăgire a audiofililor, o privire rapidă asupra... diagrame de vânzări pe Amazon shows you just how much the brand dominates all headphone sales. While Prime Day might be in the rearview mirror at this point, you can grab a pair of these earbuds for$ 169, a$ 30 discount from where they’ve been most of the year.

Cerneală pentru imprimantă HP 962 CMY

This HP printer ink includes cyan, magenta and yellow all in one product and recently saw its price jump from around$ 72– where it stayed for most of 2025– to$ 80, which is around its highest price over the last five years. We will be keeping tabs to see if this is a long-term change or a brief uptick. &nbsp,

Boxă TV Bose

Soundbars have become important purchases, given the often iffy quality of the speakers built into TVs. While not the biggest or the best offering in the space, the Bose TV Speaker is one of the more affordable soundbar options out there, especially hailing from a brand as popular as Bose. &nbsp,

Periuță de dinți electrică Oral-B Pro 1000

Poate că sunt mult mai scumpe decât variantele lor tradiționale, dar periuțele de dinți electrice rămân o alegere populară pentru consumatori datorită cât de bine își fac treaba. Știu că dentistul meu nu mă lasă să spună cât de mult am nevoie de una. Această ofertă Oral-B a fost... Alegerea generală a CNET pentru cea mai bună periuță de dinți electrică, pentru anul 2025.

This product hasn’t seen its price budge one way or another most of the year, but while Prime Day might have come and gone, there’s still a$ 10 coupon listed on Amazon right now, letting you save a little bit of money for the time being.

Chromebookul Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i

Lenovo se remarcă printre marii producători de laptopuri pentru că este o companie chineză care își face produsele deosebit de susceptibile la tarifele impuse de Trump.

Cafea măcinată Starbucks (pungă de 28 de uncii)

Coffee is included in this tracker because of its ubiquity– I’m certainly drinking too much of it these days– and because it’s uniquely susceptible to Trump’s tariff agenda. Famously, coffee beans can only be grown within a certain distance from Earth’s equator, a tropical span largely outside the US and known as the” Coffee Belt” .&nbsp,

Hawaii este singura parte a SUA care poate produce boabe de cafea, conform datelor disponibile. de la USAFacts showing that 11.5 million pounds were harvested there in the 2022-23 season– little more than a drop in the mug, as the US consumed 282 times that amount of coffee during that period. Making matters worse, Hawaiian coffee production has declined in the past few years.

All that to say: Americans get almost all of their coffee from overseas, making it one of the most likely products to see price hikes from tariffs. While this particular bag of beans from Starbucks hasn’t seen its price budge for most of the year, in recent days it ticked up by less than a dollar on Amazon, which could be a sign of further increases to come.
